This requires UVB radiation and a UV index greater than or equal to 3, which is practically not the case here in Germany between November and March. You can check the UV index for any given day on the internet if you wish.  <\/p>\n<p>Previtamin D is then formed in the skin &#8211; with a UV index of greater than or equal to 3 &#8211; by the sun&#8217;s UVB rays with the help of 7-dehydro-cholesterol. The previtamin D is then converted into vitamin D by the body temperature. <\/p>\n<p>Vitamin D is also called colecalciferol.<\/p>\n<p>It then travels via the bloodstream to the liver, where it is converted to calcidiol. Calcidiol (25-OH vitamin D) is the value that is measured in the blood in the laboratory to determine the status. <\/p>\n<p>In the kidneys, calcidiol is converted into calcitriol &#8211; the vitamin D hormone. However, the conversion into the vitamin D hormone also takes place in many other organs and systems, as has been discovered. <\/p>\n<p>The vitamin D hormone is the actual active vitamin D in the body that works and has all these wonderful preventive and health-promoting effects.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-bottom:50px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1216.8px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><h2>The many and wonderful effects of vitamin D<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator\" style=\"align-self: flex-start;margin-right:auto;margin-bottom:40px;width:100%;max-width:200px;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:var(--awb-custom_color_1);border-color:var(--awb-custom_color_1);border-top-width:2px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The following tissues\/organs have receptors for the vitamin<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Muscle cells<\/li>\n<li>Nerve cells<\/li>\n<li>Mammary gland<\/li>\n<li>Prostate<\/li>\n<li>Ovaries, placenta<\/li>\n<li>Pancreas<\/li>\n<li>Immune system<\/li>\n<li>Gastrointestinal tract<\/li>\n<li>Vessel walls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>In plain language, this means that vitamin D also fulfills tasks in all these structures or has an effect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I will be brief here, as you can read everything in detail in the book by Mr. Gr\u00f6ber mentioned below and I would just like to give you an overview of how extensive the effect of vitamin D is.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-bottom:50px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1216.8px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><h2>Here is a list of the areas in which vitamin D is used and can help<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator\" style=\"align-self: flex-start;margin-right:auto;margin-bottom:40px;width:100%;max-width:200px;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:var(--awb-custom_color_1);border-color:var(--awb-custom_color_1);border-top-width:2px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><h3><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"bullet_check imglist\">\n<li>Elevated blood pressure<\/li>\n<li>Blood vessels (arteriosclerosis)<\/li>\n<li>Depressive moods, anxiety<\/li>\n<li>Stroke<\/li>\n<li>Heart attack<\/li>\n<li>Crohn&#8217;s disease<\/li>\n<li>Multiple sclerosis<\/li>\n<li>Diabetes mellitus<\/li>\n<li>Neurodermatitis<\/li>\n<li>Psoriasis<\/li>\n<li>Immune system<\/li>\n<li>Pregnancy &amp;
